I am moving to a new place where Comcast will be providing my cable/Internet. I was wondering what would be the best Internet option for gaming. What do you think the minimum I should get for no lag and best overall gaming. They offer 3, 25, and 50 Mbps. I'm sure 25 will be more than enough but I really have no clue. Any help?
TIA

25 would make the most sense.

Unless they are giving you a hell of a deal on 50 of course. If it is twice as much then go with 25.

I got 25. I hate Comcast, though. Basic HD, with 25 interwebz runs me 140/ month.

I had 25, they throttle you pretty hard. It used to take forever to patch and download stuff. Also would have to buffer 2-3 times when streaming netflix. I upgraded to the 50mbps, the gf can watch netflix on the xbox while I play somehting no problem.

I used to have the 25mb/s and they upgraded me to 50mb/s for free in that promotion a few months ago. Regardless, i only get about 20-21 on speedtest.

Still a bit laggy sometimes playing online and that is with a ping of about 15.
